“If there is severe weather, job number one is making sure everybody safe. If there is lightning we will have deeper discussions with agencies in New York to decide how to move forward,” said Amy Kule, the show’s executive producer.

Kule and her team will be closely monitoring the weather Wednesday.

“Any lightning would be bad. We would wait for the bad weather to pass then we can do the fireworks,” she said.

And it doesn’t matter how long it takes, even if it’s early on the 5th of July.
